And also, why is everyone so upset with Tommy/JDF? What did he do that's causing people to go nuts and resort to the methods being used now...? Like... I'm seriously asking. Please inform me.

I'll try to break it down without sounding like a jerk, so bear with me.

- No one here is planning to program a voting bot. That was a joke from, as I said earlier, a very transparent troll post.
- No you're not wrong for wanting this to be legit. I think I speak for 99% of the fandom when I say that's how we all want this to be.
- A lot of us are upset because of JDF's behavior in regards to this competition, as has been stated. Before he took to twitter and Facebook begging and bribing for votes for his characters, accusing those of us who want to see some other, lesser-known and obscure characters to be recognized of being "haters", there was no ill will and this was a very light-hearted if spirited competition to put a our favorites as far as we could. Personally, I voted for every blue that came up. Except Noah. Noah can go sit in the corner.

Let me reiterate: Few if any of us hold any actual grudges against Mr. Frank. We are disappointed over his words and actions, we feel betrayed, but this campaign is not being done out of spite. We love Power Rangers, and he is inseparable from the franchise, and a good reason that it's been around as long as it has, and is as strong as it is. But we also acknowledge that he and his legacy will be milked for all it's worth. Merchandise of him is sure to happen as the sun will rise tomorrow. We simply want to see some of the other unique aspects of the franchise, like the American-original Titanium Ranger, or the woefully neglected Phantom Ranger, to receive some recognition, if only in extremely small quantities.
